Thornton Waldo Burgess was a conservationist and an American writer of children’s literature. Burgess is so much delighted with the beauty of nature and all the creatures, that he became inspired to write about them for about 50 years in books and newspapers, in his column, Bedtime Stories. He was oftentimes called as the Bedtime Story-Man.
